The Droid RAZR MAXX makes it's debut with the thinness we have all come to love and know. The handset boasts an incredible 21 hours on a single charge. The 3,300mAh battery and Smart Actions should easily power this handset and meet those numbers.

The release, posted below, also mentions a 16GB Purple version of the Droid RAZR that will run a skinny $199.99 on contract.

Verizon Wireless And Motorola Announce New Additions To DROID Family At CES 2012


LAS VEGAS, NV and BASKING RIDGE, NJ - From the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Verizon Wireless and Motorola Mobility, Inc. (NYSE: MMI) today announced an expansion of the DROID RAZR™ family. In coming weeks, customers will see the DROID RAZR™ by Motorola in Purple and the DROID RAZR™ MAXX™ by Motorola. Both new DROIDs are powered by America's fastest, most reliable 4G network and build upon the successful DROID RAZR by Motorola.


DROID RAZR – Thin, Powerful and now in Purple


DROID RAZR in Purple will debut in the coming weeks with 16 GB on-board memory and gives customers a third stylish option from which to choose. Regardless of color – classic Black, pristine White or Purple, the DROID RAZR is equipped with the same great features that let customers search the Web or download more than 300,000 Android Market™ apps at breakneck speeds on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. The DROID RAZR in Purple will be $199.99 with a new two-year customer agreement.


Taking DROID RAZR to the MAXX


The DROID RAZR MAXX by Motorola will join the DROID family for customers who want all the great features of the DROID RAZR, but need a smartphone that overachieves. DROID RAZR MAXX is designed for customers who spend their days and nights multi-tasking. This smartphone is a marathon runner with enough endurance to let customers talk on the phone for more than 21 hours straight on a single charge. It's the longest-lasting smartphone on the block, and at just 8.99 mm, the device is still impossibly thin. The DROID RAZR MAXX comes equipped with 32 GB of total memory and will be $299.99 with a new two-year customer agreement.


The DROID Family by Motorola Complete with Tablets


The DROID family also includes the two recently launched DROID XYBOARD tablets by Motorola. Both boast the blazing speeds of Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network and the power of dual-core 1.2 GHz processors for lightning-fast Web browsing and multi-tasking. Customers can select what size XYBOARD they want to command by choosing either the 10.1-inch or 8.2-inch DROID.


Ice Cream Sandwich Update


DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX are powered by the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network and run on Android™ 2.3.5 Gingerbread, to be upgraded to Android™ 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The DROID XYBOARD tablets will also be upgraded to Android 4.0. Both DROID smartphones will be available in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores and online at Cell Phones - Smartphones: Cell Phone Service, Accessories - Verizon Wireless in the coming weeks.


Additional Features and Smart Accessories


A full suite of accessories that extend the power of DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX by Motorola are also available from Verizon Wireless. Accessories compatible with both DROIDs include the 10.1-inch Lapdock 100, 14-inch Lapdock 500 Pro with built-in webcam and Ethernet connection, HD Dock, HD Station and vehicle navigation mount. Plus, each device has all the software needed to customize DROID RAZR or DROID RAZR MAXX to the fullest. Stream music, photos and videos from home or work computers straight to the smartphone with MotoCast™, or automate everyday tasks by creating rules using Smart Actions.

The current RAZR is 7.1mm while the RAZR MAXX is 8.99mm. Let me do some quick math here...the new one is 1.89mm thicker. Is that purely because of the battery? I guess so.

Instead of allowing the battery to be removed and letting people buy an extended battery & cover they've decided to go this route. I'm guessing that a whole lot of current RAZR owners won't be too happy about this.

I was saying in another thread if the RAZR MAXX had a Quad Core, more memory and different screen technology or any one of those 3 I could see people being upset.

I'm happy with how thin the phone is (still thinner) and bettery life is good. Nothing to get upset about. Same phone but one is thicker with larger battery.

I'll go with the thinner one but thats just me.
 
I don't think that a phone made from kevlar and stainless steel, covered with a water resistant coating should ever, EVER be purple!... :icon_ lala:
 
really moto? Not even an hd display, but just beefed up battery? Looks like you're going to have another quarter with a loss. That's why sammy is kicking your a$$.

really wanted to get the maxx for my wife. but no hd display, no thx.
 
Then there will be a Maxx 2 having a better screen + the battery. And then a maxx 3 etc. Why didn't they just do this with the first razr they made. And like stated above they could of solved this crap by just putting in a removable battery

If they had done this with the first RAZR, that means the first one would have been scrapped in design, delayed and then released a month before the next flagship phone... Sound familiar?
 
Larger battery, understandable. Purple? (Has there ever been a purple phone before?) What's next, pink, green, yellow, red....?
